‘these six meditations contain all the foundations of my physics. But please do not tell people’
Letter to Mersenne (28 January 1641)
Be clear about your aim.
Concision is a virtue.
Give the best argument only.
Formulate claims carefully.
Defend each claim you make, or say explicitly that it as a premise.
It’s not about you.
The single-coherent-line-of-argument challenge
Make one point in each paragraph.
Ensure that each paragraph contributes to a single, carefully ordered line of argument.
Review the key moves of the argument in your conclusion.
